I'm impressed Law managed to cut through Vergo's armament haki (which has been hyped a lot) so easily. He is definitely worthy of the rank of Shichibukai. His DF combined with his strong haki makes him a frightening opponent. Luffy was right to forge an alliance with him.

Caesar's face is hilarious. I hope he'll remain that way forever
I've got to hand it to him, he is damn resilient. It's only a matter of time before he gets defeated though. Luffy is completely overwhelming him.

It looks like Smoker used armament haki on his jutte, and Vergo was still able to break it. Vergo's haki was no match for Law's DF ability once he got his heart back.

Law alludes to the "unforeseen power" the governments policy enacted in order to fill the gap of Akainu and Aokiji no longer being admirals. Perhaps the marines are also using smiles? Even crazier, like Vergo being planted by Donflamingo in the marines, what if Kaidou is actually an ally of the marines?

Looks like shinokuni has access to everyone now that the lab was destroyed..

Is the old lady taking care of Caribou the same one that offered Urouge an umbrella outside of Raijin island?

EDIT: probably not the same old lady, the one with Caribou has glasses and a round nose.

At first I thought it was awesome how Vergo looked completely encased in armament haki, then Law quickly outdid that by not only one-shotting Vergo, but cutting the entire tip of the mountain off with a single slash. That was incredibly awesome.

And here at the end we have one of the very rare times Doflamingo isn't seen smiling. To be exact I think this is the third time.~

I think Law cutting Vergo also shows us that the ones who were considered rookies should not be underestimated at this point,they've come as far as new world,shit's getting serious,and VA is no longer a level that would be able to stop them with ease.

I know that there are no technical power levels in One Piece,but i think Oda's trying to show us something.

And it's either Law having a broken DF

or

Rookies are no longer rookies.

This reminds me: Just for the record, I don't doubt the supernovas' strength. Never did, really. My argument was always that they couldn't topple the New World's major forces on their own. That's precisely why I don't object to them forming alliances among each other.... They have a better chance of beating their foes with appropriate backup. That being said, I am most definitely looking forward to the inevitable final clash against Doflamingo.

Oh, and another thing that occurred to me: Didn't gray_1960 argue that Law was too weak to be a threat for guys like Smoker and Vergo? Guess he has to eat his words now!

Again, Smoker let himself lose on purpose. Think about what Vergo said this chapter about how Smoker activating his ability makes him more vulnerable against strong haki users.

Wow, even Zoro would have been impressed by that slice. I have to say that, although i've never been a fan of Law, he was great in this chapter. Of course his cutting technique impressed me, but even more so his speech directed towards Doflamingo. I just loved how that idiot stopped laughing at the end. And yes, Smoker was great as well. Like marvelB, I think that Smoker 'lost' intentionally. The circumstances are obvious.

However, with this chapter, the arc is pretty much over, isn't it? Vergo's probably done, Ceasar never had a chance anyway, so all that's left to do is get rid of the gas or wait in a secure place until it's gone. It's pretty obvious that Joker's henchmen are going to do something soon. The question is where and when, though.

Surprising and a little disappointed Vergo went down so easily by Law...but yeah that cutting of the mountains and stuff was a little overkill lol Law seems a bit op now...hmm but that cutting technique...is it the same technique as Doflamingo's? For him to be able to extend his DF power to that distant is a bit off...

smoker lost but it was intentional?? meaning he meant to lose so law can get his heart back?

It wasn't, he was weaker than Vergo.

That's not true, if he was strong enough he would defeat him and Law would get his heart back. Losing on purpose makes no sense especially if you're risking your life.

But remember that he needs Law's power in order to get back his heart. It wouldn't do much good if his heart ended up being lost forever due to Law being killed now, would it? Not to mention he could risk damaging Law's heart if he got serious while the organ was still in Vergo's hands....

Looks like this arc will be wrapping up very soon. Ceasar is getting dominated by Luffy, and Vergo seems to be pretty much done. Hardening his whole body and rushing with full force against Law looked like his last resort/ultimate trump card. And the moral of the story here is that the supernovas are no longer "rookies" or "underdogs". They've been sorely underestimated by the big players and that's proving to be quite costly for them. Doflamingo had a serious look on his face, which is indicative of the fact that there can't be any more messing around/taking this new generation lightly.

I don't know how some of you are thinking Smoker's loss wasn't intentional.

Vergo blatantly pointed out Smoker wasn't playing to his strengths as per the usual, and was being overly "reliant" on his DF ability.

Which pretty much points out that if Smoker was playing for keeps, he'd be fighting in a completely different way. I avoid saying "fighting seriously" since he fought convincingly enough to take Vergo's attention away from Law & his heart.

Classic distraction strategy that usually involves a loss of some sort. The loss this time just happened to be Smoker himself.
